hey all-- A few weeks ago I began the transition over to autoconf/automake by taking my semester's project and incorporating autoconf into the package. everything works really fine, only now I'm having trouble incorporating automake into the fray. namely, there are two specific problems:
- ./configure now tests for auto* and makeinfo is that really necessary? I'd really like to have the configure process have nothing to do with the autostuff. I took a look at a couple other gnu packages (tar, gzip) and they don't seem to do it, and my configure.ac/aclocal.m4 doesn't look too different... - my config.h is consistently nuked by autoheader whereas previously my config.h was updated from AC_CONFIG_HEADER, it's now AM_CONFIG_HEADER and always ends up being blank, save a line saying it's generated by autoheader btw, I've read over the documentation of the online manual page, but if I've missed something please feel free to point me there :) oh, and if it's at all helpful, i'm using 1.4-p4 on a debian box with autoconf 2.53 thanks --sean
